Magnetically Sculpted Microfluidics for Continuous-Flow Fractionation of Cell Populations by EpCAM Expression Level.
Article in Micromachines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Continuous-flow separation of magnetically labeled cells according to surface-marker expression levels is increasingly needed to study phenotypic heterogeneity and support downstream assays. Here, we present a microfluidic platform that uses spatially engineered soft magnetic strips (SMS) to sculpt lateral magnetic deflection fields for quantitative, label-guided cell fractionation. Under a uniform bias field, the SMS generates controllable magnetic gradients within the microchannel, producing distinct lateral velocities among EpCAM-labeled tumor cells that carry different Dynabead loads, which indirectly report membrane protein expression. Multi-outlet collection converts these "race-based" trajectory differences into discrete expression-level-resolved fractions. A COMSOL-MATLAB framework and a force-equivalent metric |(
